PET Scans Reveal ‘smoldering’ Inflammation in patients with Multiple sclerosis

Imaging Technology

The team has worked for the past eight years on developing an approach of imaging cells called microglia. Microglia are immune cells in the brain that are thought to have a role in MS disease progression but cannot be seen by a routine MRI. The team developed a technique called F18 PBR 06 PET imaging.
